Access to starting point:
Drive to Irschen (Austria). The fastest way to Irschen is via the motorway to Spittal and then along the regional road past the villages of Lendorf, Greifenburg and Dellach im Drautal all the way to Irschen. In Irschen, follow the signs for Leppner Alm. The steep road winds up the steep scenic slope past houses, then turns into the forest. The road is gravel in the final section until, after a few kilometers, you reach the parking area below the Bergheimat hut or guesthouse.
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the gravel road to the information boards and cross the small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left onto the footpath, which climbs steeply past the signposts. After a few minutes, you reach a cart track where the signposts direct you right. After the bend, a signpost directs you left again onto the footpath (direction Scharnik). Follow the path through the sparse larch forest until it rejoins the road. Follow the road for a short section until well-visible markings direct you onto the footpath. The path leads to Ochsnerhütte at 1810 m.
Behind the hut, follow the signposts (marking 315) in the direction of Scharnik mountain. Along the path, you soon notice a large cross. Then comes a small lake; follow the Scharnik path the whole time. The path transitions from grassy terrain to the ridge, which becomes increasingly rocky. In the final section, the ridge becomes steeper and steeper. There are some steel cables along the path, but the path is quite demanding. At the summit, there is a cross, a bench, a summit logbook and a stamp for the Vrhovi prijateljstva traverse.
Follow the descent along the western ridge of the mountain to the Gursgen Törl saddle at 2445 m, where you need to watch your step in places (wobbly stone slabs). At the saddle, turn left downhill. Soon, at the next junction, follow right (or straight ahead) following the markings for Dachskofel and Lamnitzsee. This is followed by 15 minutes of scenic walking straight to the summit, which offers wonderful views of the surroundings. A visit to Lamnitz Lake (Lamnitzsee), located less than 100 meters below the summit, is recommended.
Recommended is the return directly via Ochsnerhütte (1810 m) or via the path over Unteralmhütte (1838 m).
